Title: Is This Site Legit?
Post by: guest22811 on November 05, 2016, 11:32:03 AM
Hello everyone  XD

Just gonna make it quick;

Does this site look legit? (Mainly asking the tech savvy people here)
https://www.doodletogs.com/
I'm ordering a new bag and I thought it would be cool to get a personalised bag, however the site looks a bit dodgy.

Help?

Not sure if this requires people that are tech savvy XD If a site is dodgy or bad, that's usually because the people running it are dodgy. If a site itself would be 'dodgy', then I'd imagine it would be riddled with bugs, glitches, and more, because it wouldn't function properly.

Still, to answer your question:
I don't have experience with the site. If I would have a bad feeling about a site, I wouldn't even think about ordering anything. A site can look extremely professional, while actually scamming people. So you even have to look out for company sites that don't seem dodgy, is what I'm saying.

I can't name a few sites which do actually seem legit and do similar things, but I know there are quite a few out there. In fact, I would suggest you take a look at printer shops or certain stores to see if they do anything special printing on bags or the like.
I found out a store chain here (similar to Best Buy, I suppose?) actually has the option to use a machine where you can select your own picture and have it printed not only on paper, but canvas, bag, and a cup. Not sure if they still do it, but they used to :)

Hmm... are there any reviews on this site?

Those are sure a lot of reviews. Still, keep in mind they could have set up those reviews themselves. Like I said before, I don't have experience with the site or anything, so I can only say to either go with your gut feeling or trust those reviews.

Hmm, alright then. I'll probably search somewhere else.


Thanks!

May I suggest Cafepress. I've used it a couple times myself, but do be aware that while some of the items give a very cheap feel, others I still use to this day... four years after I got them.

Alex would know. I've given them a spare mousepad that I got after it was assumed my first shipment was lost through the USPS. I contacted them and got a replacement, and both orders came through. They let me keep both :3

Yeah, the pad itself doesn't come glued to the main plastic part. It's removable and apparently swappable if you have multiple ones of the same shape.

Too bad they're no longer listed on the site.
